Please click on the “view details” for a detailed map of each home location.

Is the home in a safe or good neighborhood?

We cannot answer this question for you because we have not lived in the property. At the same time we don’t know how you define “safe” or “good” and every person defines it differently. In addition, because we are real estate licensees, we could be held legally responsible for applying our own criteria to answer your question, so we ask you to complete your own due diligence to make that determination for yourself.

How much is the rent?

The rental rate for each of our rental homes can be found on our website.

Is a washer, dryer and/or refrigerator included with the home?
